I am trying to run OpenMPI on the Cray XK7 system at Oak Ridge National Lab (Titan), and am running in an issue whereby MPI_Init seems to hang indefinitely, but this issue only arises at large scale, e.g., when running on 18560 compute nodes (with two MPI processes per node). The application runs successfully on 4600 nodes, and we are currently trying to test a 9000 node job to see if this fails or runs.

Are there any issues that I should be aware of when running OpenMPI on 37120 processes or when running on the Cray Gemini Interconnect?

We are using OpenMPI 1.7.1 (1.7.x is required for Cray Gemini support) and gcc 4.7.2.

Thanks,

Mike.
